Ok, this obviously contains 3 small typos, here is the correct version, (this time I actually pasted this into FvwmConsole to see it works): DestroyFunc ShowTimeTitledMenu AddToFunc ShowTimeTitledMenu + I DestroyMenu TimeTitledMenu + I AddToMenu TimeTitledMenu + I PipeRead `date +'+ "%d-%b-%Y %T" Title'` + I + "item 1 in your menu" Exec command 1 + I + "item 2 in your menu" Exec command 2 + I Menu TimeTitledMenu > Now, every time you want to show your menu with the current time title, > use "ShowTimeTitledMenu" function in place of "Menu" command.
